Wipe the sterling silver with a clean and lint-free cloth every time you use it to ensure that the jewelry is not tarnished by oils on the skin.

2

Wash the sterling silver in warm, soapy water. Rinse the jewelry thoroughly to remove soap. Dry it with a soft towel.

3

Choose whether you will use toothpaste or baking soda to polish the sterling silver. Either works well. With baking soda, you should put a tablespoon in a bowl and add water to it until it has the consistency of toothpaste. Mix the concoction so it does not have clumps of baking soda.

4

Place either the baking soda or toothpaste on the silver and spread the paste with a cloth, covering the entire piece of jewelry with the polisher. Use a soft brush to reach hard-to-reach areas. After covering the jewelry, place it on a clean dish or towel.

5

Rinse off the silver with warm water, starting with the first piece of jewelry that you started cleaning. Use a brush to remove any residue from crevices.

6

Dry the jewelry completely after rinsing it to ensure that spotting does not appear.

7

Clean the most tarnished pieces of jewelry using a solution of 1 part baking soda, 1 part salt, 1 part liquid dish soap and 64 parts water. Line a pot with aluminum foil, then add all the components and mix them with a plastic spoon.

8

Put the pieces of silver jewelry into the pot and place the pot on the stove, with the heat turned on low. Bring the pot to a boil, and then remove it from the heat. Let the pot sit for 4 to 6 minutes.

9

Drain the mixture with a strainer and rinse the jewelry off with warm water. Dry all the jewelry using a soft, clean towel.

Tips & Warnings

Tarnishing is a natural process that cannot be stopped entirely.

Do not use toothpaste or baking soda on other types of jewelry, since they may be damaged.
